Brief
Drones have recently garnered a lot of attention in all sorts of domains including supply chain. While
autonomous drones have achieved decent maturity in outdoor environments, the conventional drones still
struggle to perform in an indoor environment such as a warehouse. The main reason for this comes from the
fact that in outdoor environments, drones could rely on global navigation systems such as GPS for their
position and velocity estimates. However when it comes to an indoor environment there is a lot of scope of
innovation of sensors and processing.

Details
1. Objective :
a. The objective of the problem statement is to come up with an autonomous drone which is
capable to travel along a predefined trajectory
b. The drone should be able to course correct the trajectory to be able to achieve objectives such
as crossing through some square frames (gate) or avoiding obstacles in its path
c. Parameters :
i. Multi-rotor drone
ii. Minimum payload : 2 Kg
iii. Navigate in the aisle width of 5000mm
iv. Autopilot, PID controlled & obstacle avoidance features
2. Trajectory Specification
a. The drone will travel along a straight aisle.
b. The aisle will have 15 gates which the drone has to pass through.
c. The gates can be placed anywhere in the aisle but will stay perpendicular to the aisle.
3. Gate Specification
a. The gate will be a rectangular frame 550 x 1000 mm ( L x B )
b. The gate will be mounted on a frame at the height of 3000mm
Deliverables
Judging Criteria
12. Time taken to complete the course
13. Number of gates the drone successfully passed through
14. Penalty for any hits or if the drone goes off the track
15. Grip and steadiness of the drone while navigating with the load. There will be penalties awarded if
packages fall off the drone.
